Visit the Murray River, Lakes and Coorong and get to know the locals

The towns along Australia’s greatest waterway are rich in history and provide excellent facilities to enhance your river experience.

Fantastic riverfront reserves provide the perfect spot to throw in a line or share a picnic. Shopping precincts big and small will assist with a little retail therapy and a range of accommodation options and attractions make it easy to use one of these Murray River towns as your holiday base.

The Murray River, Lakes & Coorong region has so many diverse and stunning environments. They’re beautiful to look at, but to really appreciate and understand these places you need to experience them. This is a region made for the adventurous, with plenty of opportunities to hike, paddle, fish, swim, stroll and cycle. It’s a great way to meet the locals too – roos, wombats, pelicans, and thousands of other native species abound. If the wildlife starts to look distinctly African, you’ll know you’re at Monarto Safari Park!
